Those people are nothing short of thieves! They told me to come and refinance my car as they were sure I could have a better rate. After dinging my credit at least 20 times they came back with a number that was 25 or so dollars lower than I pay now.. Then without telling me, tried to charge me 1500 for fees. No masks are worn and they smoke cigarettes inside and then spray crazy amounts of air freshener. I was astounded by the collective unprofessionalism. I told them I no longer wanted the sale after being on the fence and needed something that said he would not be doing anything with my credit or information, HE REFUSED! Absolutely refused. The man in charge is probably the worst. Snide and absolutely rude. Save your time. Mr. Zeigler should really know what is going on in that store, because I am sure that is not the standard he holds them to. I ended up filing a police report it was so bad.
Please do not believe the 0 money down, everyone financed line this place gives you. I sat there for 4.5 hours and didn’t even see the person (Brandi) that I had been dealing with which in all honestly I wasn’t surprised. I dealt with Thomas and while he was nice, it was a complete run around. Told I needed a co-signer,fine. Gave them a co signer. Not a good enough co-signer. Gave them a second co-signer and after about another 30 minutes I was told they had me financed but needed a “finance manager” to look it over. They will call me. Didn’t hear from them. Called them today. Spoke with “Chris, finance manager” told he will call the bank and get back to me in about 15 minutes. It has now been 2 hours. I understand if you couldn’t get the financing but it would be a little more professional if you reached out to potential customers to relay that information to them so they can continue their search elsewhere. Very poor business/Customer service on your part Ziegler!!
Don’t waste your time. It’s a lie. They just try to get you there. Maria talked about you get approved with income and not credit. Not the case. My gf and I wasted our time coming there. It was a lie. Trust the reviews.
Lies. They ask questions and ignore what you tell them. Lie some more. Zero money down is a blatant lie. They say its income based its not, they run and use credit. Then they bring out the paperwork like youre not gonna see the lies or the wool being pulled. Avoid this dealer at all costs. If the salesmen are liars, the cars cant be much better.
Worst car dealership Ive ever been to sat there for 3 hours I was told financing was all set the paperwork was all set then after 3 hours they tell me I need a cosigner and they dont even give a care. Took a test drive at the car picked up everything was fine 3 hours later I need a cosigner and I walk out of there with no vehicle I called the general manager to find out why and she hangs up on me unbelievable never go to this place waste of time b******* advertising unprofessional couldnt care less that they spent 3 hours wasting someones time
If I could give it no stars, I would. I spoke to Brandi on the phone, not only did she text, email and call me to get me in there TODAY, telling me they had a $0 down deal where they cover tax title and plates until Saturday… that all we needed was pay stubs and a license. Okay, we drive in 50 minutes…. Don’t even see her, dealt with another guy who was maybe 20 years old. Took the information, ran it and said yeah you’re not even going to get 18,000. You’re all a joke, stop lying to people.
It was a joke, they say that everything is based on your income & then rack up a bunch of hits on your credit report (false advertising), before trying to offer you a deal that would be higher than buying a brand new vehicle. Oh yeah, the car they offered had a heavily stained back seat and would probably need to be dipped in febreeze a few times to get rid of the smell.
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I drove all the way from Milwaukee to buy a car. They promised 0 down and many other things. The absolute WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever dealt with. The sales manager looked like he had smoked one too many and the salesman that I unfortunately had to deal with talked to me for about 15 total minutes out of the 3 hours I was there. At the end we finally got a test drive and he says, yea, youll need $500 down and your payments will be $750/ mo. We made a u-turn, jumped out of the car and left. Biggest waste of time and this place should be shut down.
All lies. My son tried to buy a car. He talked to Maria and Maria does not exist. I have never seen such a run around in my life. Hes approved but wait, they now want a down payment. Fine, then they tell him they want a bigger down payment. And then, they now want a cosigner??? Very disappointing. He walked away and everyone else should too
I Have an appointment tomorrow, but after reading all these reviews... Eeeeehh lol saved me some time
Don’t waste your time. Was told my income was enough. Told them my credit was terrible. Was told it’s ok they don’t go by credit. I met all income requirements. Guess what…”need a co-signer cause of credit”. 2 hour drive each way for nothing. Do not waste your time going here.
I wish I cld give negative stars. This place is a complete joke. Waste of time. Some lady kept ensuring me that all I needed was a d.l and proof of income, no cosigner, and they go off of ur income. NO! Thats a lie. Drove 2 1/2hrs with my sick mother of lung cancer just to go back home with no car. They did do a credit check which they said they do not do that. I spent 3hrs sitting at a table and maybe 15mins talking to the guy. I never seen the lady Diana that kept ensuring me I would leave with a car. Now I see why they have 1.5 star rating. NEVER AGAIN!!
Worst experience ever. Had an employee whom I told specifically what was needed and required. She clearly told me don’t worry, we work in-house finance. We are here for second chance situations. An hour later oh they want a down payment after coming in on a pre qualified offer for zero down. Horrible business ethics. Waste of my time, as well as a loss of profit since I’m a Uber Driver!
I feel that I was bated. They told no more down and we can work with you with no credit and only 3 months on the job. And Im still on the bus, trains and walking to work...😒Im get my credit right and down payment bigger and see what happens next time. 🙄
Terrible service dont buy from them theyre very rude !
The people were nice. Service was good but slow.
Marie made false statements to me and gave me misleading information. She told me that I would be all set to get a car, so I traveled all the way from Oak Lawn with Uber ($40). I get to the dealership itself fill out all the paperwork and I was told I needed a cosigner. I gave them a cosigner and it was not good enough. Now I have to Uber back to Oak Lawn. Marie told me that if I had an income of $800 to $1,000 a month I would be all set to get a car today. She also told me that my unemployment was a good source of income to provide. Dont believe these people, they are snakes.
Don’t go here! Trust the reviews.
Worse expensive ever! Please do not go here they will take forever just to run your credit a million times
I wished I had read the reviews before I drove 2hrs.I told them I had challenged credit before I came and didnt want to waste their time or minds,but they insisted they were income based and credit wasnt an issue.They said bring your license and check stubs and you would be drive off in a vehicle. The salesman was the worst salesman Ive ever dealt with.The lady I talk to on the phone I never did see.You dont see the people that contact you because they are liars,please listen to the comments they are very true.
I received the flyer in the picture in my mailbox. I called the number on the flyer and spoke to a woman who identified herself as Mary Benson. She said she would send me a link to check out the inventory. After looking at the inventory I spoke to her via text. When I got to the dealership she was not there. I called her back and the same woman answered but this time she told me Mary was in a finance meeting. I thought this was interesting because the salesman had just informed me that there was no Mary. After I told her that he told me that she hung up on me. It was a total bait and switch and the flyer is a lie. They also did not have the cars on the website. Total and complete SCAM!
I would give them a -5 there 0down add is a scam they say they dont ise your credit they do i wasted my time amd my money to get there the lady lied to my wife told her all shr had to do was sign and we leave with the car shr had all our info and that all was a lie. I am filing a class action lawsuit i already have five people in 6 minutes of leaving. Hope they realize uts against the law to lie and falsely advertise something just to get people in there to Shanghai them. Well they didnt expect me to walk in there.Enjoy your review and lawsuits on there way. #everyonematters
Not a good place to go to they will tell u anything to get u in then NO CAR BAD PLACE
Got the jeep we wanted with no $ down and affordable payment.
Awful. Just left the place now. I have all the text messages for anyone who wants to contact me. They kept saying 800 monthly income minimum gets you a car. No down payment. Monthly payment is based off car price. We found out they like two people by asking someone. Got there. Never asked to run credit check. Found out from notification( after told in text no credit check). They then asked for another co-signer. Basically they lure you in with lies and just try to find someone with good credit and sell a car. Very quiet and curt. Person who texted us and set appointment wasn’t even there. Do not trust facebook reviews. You will need great credit and long job history as usual. They also won’t seem to tell you anything until you sign.
We were told a week ago on the phone we were approved for the vehicle I inquired about, we spent 3 hrs there today to find out that we did not..My husband asked if we were for sure approved as we live 3 hrs away and Jay told him yes.. well he lied and we wasted time, gas and money to come get a car and for us to not leave with one... DONT GO THERE They lie
I took a friend to see about getting a vehicle
So I went into this place spoke to a Marie On the phone she wasn’t there. I then ended up speaking with a Christian he got all my information had me look at cars pick my top three then comes and tells me oh you’re going to need a cosigner so I called my husband had him fill out the application over the phone to cosign and then After being there for five hours I was told that we were not approved so I asked Christian I thought that the approval process was based off your job not your credit that’s what it says online and he said yeah not sure what to tell you this place is a complete scam they make you wait for whatever reason I’m not sure why they make you wait so long just to tell you you’re not approved then ask me if I can ask family members and friends to co-sign for me like no y’all made it seemed like credit wouldn’t be an issue but clearly it is do not go here it’s complete BS
Promised something and they never deliver, bad thing I already signed paperwork
If i could give ZERO stars i would, complete false advertisement for fishing consumers to waste their time. From the moment they spread ADs containing misleading information of NO CREDIT NEEDED, YOUR JOB IS YOUR CREDIT, to calling you and insuring that false statement so neither of us waste time as i live 2+ hours away, to then wasting your time as sales men continue to be lollygagging WITHOUT A MASK In a closed office space (during a pandemic) which is in violation to illinois law. Apart from the fact that it is inconsiderate they then go into what seems to be a tinted office to pass around a vape pen. They not only wasted my time but the countless others who have reviewed their business.Completely UNPROFESSIONAL.If you the business owner is in anyway smart, FALSE ADVERTISEMENT TO BRING IN CONSUMERS IS ILLEGAL in the State of IllinoisLaw: 815 ILCS 505So start removing your misleading, deceptive advertising before you get sued.
No money down program..lie.Income based....lie.Not based on credit.....lie.Make sure you know the full facts before going. That it does impact your credit and drop your points. I feel they lied to me just to get me to come in so it looks better on them. Am I upset because I didn’t get approved, not at all. Already knew the outcome.
They lied to get you their.
A WASTE OF TIME.....Didnt specify which Zeigler dealership first of all so we went to the wrong dealership. Also, spoke with Diana several times but NEVER ONCE seen or met her when I got there almost as if shed never existed. About 3 people came in after us asking for her with the same issue.
I really would give this place 0 Stars if I could especially an operator Black Sails man or woman I guess name Marie. You call from the ad they sell you a dream and then you sit there and wait for 3 hours to be told you dont qualify. When you send your information to a company 3 days before you go there they send you an email saying you come in no money down will get you in a brand new vehicle you expect that really happened. Well it did not the salesman that we had when we got there Christian was his name I believe was very very nice very helpful... But I think this company is full of s***!
I followed a post on Facebook about buying a new car even if a person is unemployed, but when my wife and I went in today with a $6000 monthly income, we were turned down!! Very disappointed with Zeigler and will never buy another car from them!!!
They dont listen to the customer, very bad customer service
Drove two hours on the assurance of financing person named Maria, who assured us she could work something out. Got there with the paperwork requested, never got to see Maria. Was pushed off on some low-level salesman who had us fill out informational paperwork that we had already filled out online. She said it was pre-approved and that a paystub was fine. There was some discrepancy between a paystub and a bank statement so they said there was no way to get financing. Basically said sorry, bye. Surely there was some way they couldve checked that via email or a fax or something BEFORE I drove all the way out there. Wish there was an option for no stars. No matter how your finances are, stay away from this sleazy little dealership, dont believe their claims they can get you financed in house.
Purchased a used 2017 grand cherokee from here from a salesperson named Rami. I was using my banks car finding app, found the jeep at the downers Grove location. Since I was traveling from Nebraska, I only had limited time and no ride home and was depending on what Rami was telling me about the vehicle. To sum it up, he stated it passed all required inspections; thus I overlooked a few of the more obvious issues that I usually wouldnt expect to come from a reputable dealer. This is what I found when I got home and brought it to a chrysler and then ford dealership in Lincoln Nebraska.1. Steel showing on the inside facing edges of a few tires with all of them showing abnormal wear only on the inside edge, with sidewall punctures and tire patches either way to close or on the sidewall, or too close to each other.2. Front brakes worn below specs (2mm)3. Air filter saturated with a dirty oil colored substance.(After new tires put on and alignment checked)4. Vehicle was found to be stanced with all OEM camber replaced with aftermarket allowing camber to be adjusted way past recommended alignment (8° cambered out on average for my jeep [WHO STANCES A JEEP OVERLAND?!]).5. Leaky brake line (driver rear side).My own inspections have found:6. Loose tie rod on driver rear side (½ horizontal play of the wheel, no vertical movement).7. Broken humidity sensor mount, which is a part that attaches directly to the windshield. A $900+ fix that the dealership placed velcro tape on to stick it back on the windshield to save a quick buck.I purchased the vehicle late april and am still finding issues popping up, leading to quite a few grand of repair costs of which made the vehicle unmerchantable in the first place (tires, brakes, brake lines, alignment). Ive brought up the issue to zeigler with no response. This is the DOWNERS GROVE location where I made the purchase. I suggest no one goes there.
UPDATE: July 22, 2020 1:15pmI just received a phone call from Melany Malave. She called me back to inform me of the email I sent her in regards to the bad reviews I seen on Google. She was highly upset because I told her I was no longer interested in doing business with the company. She told me, I cant force you to come in and sign a loan. Im not going to take your hand and drag you in here. Thats not my job. But thanks for wasting our time, as if I went into the office and did paperwork and decided not to get a loan. I had TWO whole phone conversations with the woman. Never showed up to the appointment. How did I waste your time? She has a serious anger problem. I am so glad she showed her true colors before I went in and wasted MY TIME. Thank you so much, Melany Malave. Get you some dealership ANGER MANAGEMENT asap.P.S. She tried to tell me the negative reviews did not pertain to her location. But the terrible attitude I just received from her lets me know the location with the 1.5 negative rating is correct. She has the wrong attitude for a dealership. You will continue to push customers away with that nasty attitude. Find another career. Working with the public is not your forte.July 22, 2020 10:35amThank GOD I read these reviews before I drove an hour from Gary to Downers Grove, IL. Id hate to waste my time and gas money just to be denied a vehicle. Thanks to everyone who posted their experiences with this dealership.
I will be as fair as possible. They were polite, extremely courteous and friendly. If you have decent or better credit, its a fabulous place. For those who dont have this. DO NOT TRUST FACEBOOK. HAVE A DOWN PAYMENT READY. IF YOU DONT, ITS POINTLESS.
If there were zero stars I would put that. Absolutely the worst experience ever. They said they could help us get a car and then to come back and say that my husband and i do not make enough money. Im sorry but we do make plenty money. This place is a scam and should be shut down. Their advertisement says that they will work with any kind of credit and bankruptcies. Well they dont.
Lies deceit absolutely worthless waste of time. I hope car dealerships like this go bankrupt or end up in prison.
This place service department is horrible i am sorry i bought my jeep from ziegler. When buying a vehicle remember you have to deal with the service dept afterwards . Best jeep service Riverfront jeep is best by far
Avoid at all costs. Went in today to try and get a car. Had 5k for a downpayment EVEN tho I was told I didnt have too. Spent a good hour and a half for them to run credit and all that only to be told I didnt make enough money for a car..... like what. For those who want to say something let me say that i am a store manager for a pretty big retail chain, i promptly left after someone (what i am assuming was the manager) tried to ask me to reach out to literally anyone to cosign for me. I went to carmax in naperville and got a car 2 hours later. These people are a joke. All the other bad reviews here, believe them. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Completely lied I drove 2 and half hours to be told no because my income to low when I told my income over the phone was told oh come in we will work with you lies as always done with car lots period
SCAM... Typical bait and switch ... STAY AWAY!
This place was a joke refused to help us make a dream come true giving us help they rejected our terms told is to come back when you pay more off your trade in lol we drive further got a brand new 2020 no money down YES WE DID THANKS FOR REJECTING US
THIS PLACE IS ONE BIG BS SCAM!!! We researched and talked with Melissa and whomever else decided to answer for weeks in regards to their promise of Bad Credit/Good Car BS or if we can’t approve you no one can 🤬 or the best BS is NO MONEY DOWN!We Repeatedly asked if they were sure we would be able to purchase even after knowing ALL of our information and was told yes only to Uber from Naperville only to be told that we needed $3000.00 in order to purchase a used old beat up azz car. A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME 🤬If I could have given them a -0 I would have. PLAYING GAMES WITH PEOPLES LIVES AND MONEY. DO NOT BOTHER THEY ARE A BIG AZZ JOKE
The good credit, bad credit, well get you in a car was an absolute scam. Unless you have perfect credit just like any other car lot expects, these guys are no less expectant. We will even pay off your old car to get you into a new one... BS. I cant believe I drove an hour and a half for this. LESSON LEARNED!!! Sounds too good to be true, these guys definitely had a hand on writing that book. They bring you in promising theyll put you in a new car. The sales guys are doing this to increase their numbers of people coming in their lot.
Didnt like that they mess yur credit up running over nd over nd still aft traveling so far they didnt even get my daughter into a car aft having her there so many hrs bad business misleading ppls to come there

They are full of BS.
False advertising, wasted my time after talking to them on line, texting and phone calls. Completely misleading. Claim to give you more in trade ins....lies. Tried to sell me a car I did not want and could not afford.
Waste of time. Dont go and dont believe on what they say on the phone.
Another location Push a credit app on me .tried forcing me in a car I didnt even want. On top of that this location basically lying about their deal they had on face book . Dont recommend this place at all. Dealt with a very rude rep .gave me answers with out explaining it to me. Or why .terrible service wasted a whole day just to leave with nothing.
Bad very bad total lies.
Just reporting to BBB. False advertising

Worst experience at a dealership ever
The worst experience
Absolute liars beware
Its very bad
Bad service do not be fooled first tea say something on the phone and at the dealer they leave with another thing bad service the worst dealer that I have visited
A lot of wasted time, tedicentodo looks good, one gets tired of waiting when you leave until then they tell you why you wait for it, being able to tell the truth from the beginning, And you already take the decision to leave O. Wait
